CIHS Activities
The Cook Inlet Historical Society has been involved in numerous successful and interesting projects over the years. However, we have three ongoing activities that are discussed in further detail below:
John Bagoy Summer Solstice Tour of the Cemetery
The John Bagoy Summer Solstice Cemetery Tour has become a tradition in Anchorage thanks to the efforts of long time Alaskan resident and historian John Bagoy. The tour is presented annually on summer solstice evening at the
Anchorage Memorial Park Cemetery in downtown Anchorage.
Legends and Legacies, Anchorage 1910-35
Legends and Legacies is an ongoing project initiated by the late John Bagoy, which features people who lived and settled in Anchorage in the early 20th Century. This presentation is an accumulation of the histories of the range of people who lived in Anchorage for an extended period of time during Alaska’s formative years. They were from all walks of life: old timers and immigrants, Natives and non-Natives, crusty sourdoughs and brash newcomers. Whoever they were, each made an important contribution to the founding and prosperity of our vibrant and diverse community. This project is intended to celebrate them and their accomplishments.
Legends and Legacies will be updated over time, and we encourage your suggestions as the database expands to include the full range of people who helped give Anchorage its start and made it the community we know today.
